For those of you that do not know, the Felix Sex Survey 2021 is currently open for submissions. If you have already completed it, I would like to thank you for trusting us with your information. I promise you that we will treat what you tell us with the strictest of confidence and the highest standard of anonymity.

Browsing through the results that we have already received, I have to admit a certain level of shock. There are some answers and confessions that not only surprise me, but horrify and concern me. The number of people reporting sex that is either transactional or non pleasurable is tragic. Some people have even admitted criminality. We have not yet begun analysing the results yet but I want to promise you now that when we do, we will treat your words with the consideration that they require.

Don’t get the stocks out of storage quite yet

You may have spotted the large and inflammatory headline on the front of the paper. I hope that you are not expecting to see academics dragged out of their labs and pelted with vegetables on Queen’s lawn. As entertaining as I am sure it would be, I think it

Rise now new man

I read an interesting article the other day about why men are so psychologically immature. Before you write me an angry email, allow me to finish. The article suggested that modern men struggle to adopt the responsibilities and patterns of adulthood, leaving them lacking energy, motivation and wanting to return

An investigation published by The BMJ in March reveals councils in England face legal pressure from the Stove Industry Association (SIA) as public health campaigns urge homeowners to limit the use of wood-burners.

The Elements

What I thought would be a quick pitstop at a local bookshop in Chiswick turned into a half-hour chat with the owner where I realised I hadn’t read a life-changing book in a while. The conversation inspired a strong urge to change that; I grabbed a copy of The
